Fractional-order PID (FOPID) controller is a generalization of standard PID controller using fractional calculus. Compared to PID controller, the tuning of FOPID is more complex and remains a challenge problem. This paper focuses on the design of FOPID controller using wound healing algorithm (WHA) based on clonal selection principle. The tuning of FOPID controller is formulated as a nonlinear optimization problem, in which the objective function is composed of overshoot, steady-state error, raising time and settling time. WHA algorithm, a newly developed evolutionary algorithm inspired by human immune system, is used as the optimizer to search the best parameters of FOPID controller. The designed WHA-FOPID controller is applied to various systems. Numerous numerical simulations and comparisons with other FOPID/PID controllers show that the WHA-FOPID controller can not only ensure good control performance with respect to reference input but also improve the system robustness with respect to model uncertainties.
